Since the upgrade to pulseaudio 4.0 my computer recognizes two output sinks (analog output and digital output over hdmi). When selecting the tab "audio hardware setup" in KDEs phonon settings, you can configure different profiles for your sound card. I need to select the profile "analog stereo duplex" or "analog stereo output" to get analog output channel activated and displayed in kmix. The problem is, that this settings are reseted after reboot. It always defaults to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" profile. What makes the profiles a bit more curious: The HDMI output sink is always there, even if i select the analog only profile. This is not the case the other way round. I don't know if this has something to to with the problem, but mentioning it will not hurt ;) Should i report this upstream to KDE or are the profiles saved in pulseaudio by channel reseting? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. select analog profile 2. reboot emerge --info Portage 2.2.7 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.16.0, 3.10.17-gentoo x86_64)

I mean channel restoring (by module-default-device-restore ?) in the last sentence.
i looked a bit deeper into pulseaudios configuration and i can now say, that this is definitely a pulseaudio problem. if i disable the pulseaudio module module-switch-on-port-available everything works as expected. It seems that this module switches to hdmi after restoring everything correctly.
seems that the following patch is not working anymore or maybe the state of the current port is unavailable at that time? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/modules/module-switch-on-port-available.c?id=1f97db720bd533a7b367a7d3123a493196125828 somehow the DELL monitor is also an available sink, which does not make sense since it has no sound output: $ pacmd Welcome to PulseAudio!

Moving to pulseaudio maintainer then.
is there anyway to blacklist a device in pulseaudio? hdmi-output-1: HDMI / DisplayPort 2 (priority 5800, latency offset 0 usec, available: yes) properties: device.icon_name = "video-display" device.product.name = "DELL U2713HM" The DELL U2713HM has no audio or hdmi outputs. therefore this port should never be available.
Please retry with 4.99.4 that includes some changes on this
sry for the late reply: the bug is still present in pulseaudio-5.0
Please report to upstream and post the link here to allow us to track the issue: https://bugs.freedesktop.org
i will do so as soon the pulseaudio.org website is up again :-/
They use bugzilla.freedesktop.org that, as far as I know, is independent of pulseaudio.org page ;)
